From Political Theology To Critical Political Ethics, Hille Haker
From Political Theology To Critical Political Ethics, Hille Haker
Theology: Faculty Publications and Other Works
Building upon the tradition of the New Political Theology and Iiberation, decolonial, and feminist theology, this article explores the consequences of a decolonial epistemology of theology for ethical theory. It introduces a critical political ethics that concurs with critical, post-structural, and decolonial theory that knowledge and ethics is necessarily situated while standing firm in their ethical orientation towards liberation from injustice. In all these approaches, the question of freedom is of central importance for the development of political ethics, and political theology as well as critical theory raise the question of authority. Rather than presupposing the liberal concept of autonomy …
Dealing With The Fragmentation Of Knowledge: The Complex Grounds For Faith In Newman, Adorno, And Later, Colby Dickinson
Dealing With The Fragmentation Of Knowledge: The Complex Grounds For Faith In Newman, Adorno, And Later, Colby Dickinson
Theology: Faculty Publications and Other Works
This book blends historical, theological, and philosophical inquiries into what “modernity” means with the aim of showing how Newman can analyze, critique, and explain fruitful ways forward within a diverse range of subjects. First, it surveys historical and theological topics such as how Newman understood “modernity,” the sensus fidelium, the role of doubt and modern views of reason; Newman’s university ideal; and a return to the saint for much-needed anthropological insights. Second, the volume shows how Newman’s thought can be insightfully applied to key issues within church and society: the need to redefine “American” Catholicism, the challenge of secularization, the …

Making America Inclusive Again, Miguel H. Diaz
Theology: Faculty Publications and Other Works
Shortly after the election of Donald Trump, a number of religious scholars and activists put together some critical reflections on the Trump administration from a variety of faith perspectives and covering a wide range of issues. These reflections were published in Miguel A. De La Torre’s edited book, Faith and Resistance in the Age of Trump. In my contribution to this book, I offered some thoughts on Catholics and the Trump administration...

Enoch A Patmos: In Margine Al Cosiddetto "Approccio Canonico", Edmondo Lupieri
Theology: Faculty Publications and Other Works
credo, come punto di partenza su cui possiamo ritenerci tutti d’accordo, valga la considerazione che, in una prospettiva storica, non abbia senso parlare di antico o di nuovo testamento – e ancor meno di “canone” – nel contesto culturale dei seguaci di Gesù nella seconda metà del primo secolo cristiano. Pare anche ovvio affermare che, quando gli autori del nostro nuovo testamento scrivevano le loro opere, il nuovo testamento ancora non esisteva. similmente, quelli che loro e i correligionari consideravano libri sacri, solo in parte corrispondono a testi che oggi fanno parte dei tre principali e diversi canoni cristiani dell’antico …

Contemporary Jesuit Epistemological Interests, James G. Murphy
Contemporary Jesuit Epistemological Interests, James G. Murphy
Philosophy: Faculty Publications and Other Works
Apart from an orientation to and interest in the discernment of spirits as laid out in St Ignatius’s Spiritual Exercises, there does not exist a Jesuit epistemology as such. Compared to the numbers of Jesuit systematic theologians, scripture scholars, metaphysicians, and ethicists, there have been few Jesuit epistemologists.2 In metaphysics, Jesuits have been Thomist or Suarezian, even Platonist. In ethics, they have ranged from proportionalist through deontologist to virtue ethicist. No similar distinctive Jesuit presence is to be found in epistemology....
White Supremacy, The Election Of Donald Trump And The Challenge To Theology, Susan Ross
White Supremacy, The Election Of Donald Trump And The Challenge To Theology, Susan Ross
Theology: Faculty Publications and Other Works
This article is a transcript of an interview conducted by Susan Ross on 12 January, 2017, with Professor Bryan Massingale. Following the election of Donald Trump to the US Presidency, there was a surge in the number of racial and ethnic attacks on minorities across the country, and an increased concern over the place of minorities in the United States. During the previous two years, a number of shootings of black men and women had attracted much attention and protest, particularly around the Black Lives Matter movement which began after the killing of Michael Brown in the summer of 2014. …

Swipe Left: A Theology Of Tinder And Digital Dating, Michael Murphy
Theology: Faculty Publications and Other Works
The juggernaut of digital culture, which really has hatched the biggest cultural metamorphosis since Gutenberg’s printing press, affects every aspect of late modern life in fundamental ways—ways, moreover, that are often obscured from our perception. After all, the hardest chains to break, the saying goes, are the ones you can’t see.

The Profanation Of Revelation: On Language And Immanence In The Work Of Giorgio Agamben, Colby Dickinson
The Profanation Of Revelation: On Language And Immanence In The Work Of Giorgio Agamben, Colby Dickinson
Theology: Faculty Publications and Other Works
This essay seeks to articulate the many implications which Giorgio Agamben’s work holds for theology. It aims therefore to examine his (re)conceptualizations of language, in light of particular historical glosses on the ‘name of God’ and the nature of the ‘mystical’, as well as to highlight the political task of profanation, one of his most central concepts, in relation to the logos said to embody humanity’s ‘religious’ quest to find its Voice. As such, we see how he challenges those standard (ontotheological) notions of transcendence which have been consistently aligned with various historical forms of sovereignty. In addition, I intend …

Reclaiming Our Identities: From Ethicist To Moral Theologian, M Therese Lysaught

The CHA Ethics Survey issues a challenge to those who "do" ethics within Catholic health care: is it time to reclaim the identity of the Catholic moral theologian for Catholic health care? If the answer is "yes," what will it take to do so?
Genetic Testing's "Soft Underbelly": Christian Vision And Bio-Utopia, M Therese Lysaught
Genetic Testing's "Soft Underbelly": Christian Vision And Bio-Utopia, M Therese Lysaught
Institute of Pastoral Studies: Faculty Publications and Other Works
To distinguish genetic testing's positive aspects from its downsides, we who work in Catholic health care must begin examining these new technologies in the light of our faith tradition. In this article, as a first step in creating such a theological-moral critique, I identify: • four dimensions of genetic testing that belie its benevolent image • Three central Christian beliefs that are useful in assessing or challenging various assumptions and practices associated with genetic testing By bringing the latter to bear on the former, I hope to provide a model for how further theological-moral critique might proceed.
